Spend any amount of time on Xbox LIVE and you’ll come across a friend or foe who’ll verbally comment or have the profile motto that Xbox Live should be free.
Should it?
I mean we pay enough don’t we, for our consoles, replacement consoles, games and accessories, plus the fact that we’re already paying our ISP’s for line rental and broadband every month. Don’t we as loyal customers deserve to have online gaming as part of the package? Granted it is the most convenient and efficient was we have of gaming online. With the social features such as friends lists the ease of partying up, game comparisons to spy on, easy to find organised Arcade Games and DLC I wonder if I could be content not being connected, and after all it is only a fiver a month which isn’t a lot in this day and age.
I wonder if LIVE was free would it be joined by even more annoying types who just don’t care what its all about. Team Killers, quitters and a hell of a lot more kids is my guess. People who aren’t interested in the actual game and are just out to wind others up. Maybe the charge puts them off, why pay extra for something that doesn’t totally engage you when after all there’s always the internet to troll at no extra cost.
So I’m not complaining, just pondering. Mr Gates does need to keep those numbers ticking upwards in his Mega Uber Platinum Diamond account cause he’s probably got a hell of a-lot of bills to pay what with all his mansions and super cars and there are still plenty of islands that need buying.
